Feeling Better: Devotions From Time Of GraceExemplo

My Mind: I’m so confused

American society during the Truman presidency reinforced Christian values to a much greater extent than it does today. Heather didn’t have two mommies in 1950. Marriage was to last until death us do part. You had to prove infidelity to get a divorce. Abortion was illegal and considered immoral. Living together without marriage was called “shacking up” and was not what nice people did. There was no such thing as a publicly gay legislator or pastor.

How do you figure out right and wrong today? Is there such a thing as immorality? Are there no absolutes? Is everybody’s opinion just as valid as anybody else’s? Is Christianity merely one of many interesting and equally valid religious philosophies?

I don’t blame you if you feel that our culture is built on quicksand. “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3).

Here’s one source of information and authority that is never obsolete. In a world of confusion, contradiction, corruption, and change, there is a source of steady light to get you safely home. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105). Read. Then you’ll know.
